They are exactly the same for me.

In my Model 10 Smith,38 special +p 124 grn jhp's.

In a Ruger P95.+p 124 grn jhp's.

The Ruger gets a big nod of capacity as well as ease of reloadability but the reliability aspect still goes to the Smith 10 by a small margin as long as the Ruger has been thouroughly broken in before being put into service.

For speed of getting into action,any revolver beats any semi auto that has a manual safety on it that is engaged at the time of need.

Pick up the revolver,point and shoot.

My well broken in Smith Model 10 is a real sweetheart to shoot well for me though.

Wish I'd have kept my last P95 I just sold though-it was very well broken in too.

Oh well.
